GoMMCExplorer v0.5.0


GoMMCExplorer is a PC-based utility for 'exploring' your GoMMC card.
It allows you to add, remove or rename discimages, tools or filingsystems to your GoMMC via a GUI.
The utility works with GoMMC-formatted cards used by the GoMMC made by John Kortink.
And best of all, it's free!

GoMMCExplorer has been tested on W2K Server and XP Pro, but should be compatible with W2K Prof and the more recent versions. So it's not compatible with 95/98/NT/Me, and it probably will never be.

Revision history

A few minor things have been fixed/updated during the last years, there may be some work-in-progress. Unfortunately the sourcecontrol broke down, so I couldn't do a diff. If this version is not working for you, please try 0.4.0 (see below).
